The goal of this study is to design the mathematics - education program based upon literature. This program has the purpose to allow children to understand mathematics with ease. By reading the picture books including short, interasting and mathematical idea, children can learn mathematics naturally, and enjoy the activities related to mathematics. The curricuulum development frame work is adapted from Fiorino's Model for Planning Instructional System. Therefore, the Literature based Language Arts Program followed instructional flow chart which contains the need of an individual and society, overall purpose or goal, select types of content, organize content, specify scope and sequence, select teaching and learning strategies system constraints, and development. The program focuses on whole language, and especially Stricland's idea which means thinking and integrates the language process to help children 'think with language' as they listen and speak and 'think with text' as they read and write. Finally, this study develops 13 picture book text which has mathematical contents.
